What’s the difference between sourdough starter and poolish?

Great question! A sourdough starter is a living culture of wild yeast and bacteria that you maintain indefinitely. A poolish is a pre-ferment made from commercial yeast, flour, and water that you use within 12-16 hours. The starter gives more complex flavor; the poolish is more predictable.

Everything you’d expect. Nothing you wouldn’t.

Powerful AI features with one big difference: it all stays on your computer.
